Adding a bitbucket repo fails, and the app would just crash, so looking at the logs

Dec 2 13:20:37 insouciance [0x0-0x35e35e].org.sparkleshare.sparkleshare[50103]: [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path "/Users/ben/SparkleShare/.tmp/sparkleshare/.git/info/exclude".

so I created that dir and touched the file, then

Dec 2 13:23:47 insouciance [0x0-0x35f35f].org.sparkleshare.sparkleshare[50124]: [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "/Users/ben/SparkleShare/.tmp/sparkleshare/.git/objects/pack/pack-e25baf4d53c8d1be4ce2f8b37c4ec2c130f95da7.idx" is denied.

So I chmod'd the dir 777 :(

Eventually, if I did both of those things WHILE the setup progress bar was still struggling I got the repo added
